Grading the Suns-Thunder trade for Chris Paul for both teams

The Phoenix Suns made the first major move of the NBA offseason by acquiring Chris Paul from the Oklahoma City Thunder via trade. Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton now have a third star to form a big three.

Last season ended up being quite special for both Suns and Paul. Phoenix is in win-now mode and wants to show Booker they are serious about fielding a winner around him. There’s not much better of a way to do so than this.

The future Hall of Famer, Paul, managed to recover his trade value by leading the Thunder to the 5th seed in a loaded Western Conference while earning an All-NBA Second-Team nod in the process. If he can take the Suns to the next level, it will be just the latest display of his impact.

The Thunder had a great feel-good season after trading away long-time franchise-cornerstone Russell Westbrook. After trading Paul, Oklahoma City will head into the start of a legitimate rebuild with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the focus.

Let’s take a look at the blockbuster NBA trade package that sent Chris Paul from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Phoenix Suns.
